RFQ_ELE260651_Grinder_Pump_Installation_and_Force_Main_Connection_-_Addendum_2_4.29.26.pdf

This is an addendum to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the City of Ocala Electric Utility in Florida for grinder pump station installation and force main connection services at the Shaw Substation control house. The project involves installing a complete grinder pump station with associated piping and power connections to convert the facility from an existing drain field to the City's new sewer force main system, approximately 80 feet away. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for April 29, 2026, at 9:00 AM at Shaw Substation, 3650 SW 42nd Street, Ocala, FL 34474. Bidders must be licensed plumbing contractors in Florida with a minimum of five years' experience installing grinder pump systems and force main piping. The force main specifications are 2" PVC at a depth of 3".

This addendum clarifies project specifications and revises the price proposal. Key clarifications address the force main size and depth. The revised Exhibit B Price Proposal includes a new optional line item for the abandonment and complete removal of the existing septic tank, encompassing extraction, disposal, debris hauling, excavation backfilling, and final grading of the disturbed area. Bidders should note that the City is responsible for arranging the force main extension, while the contractor is responsible for all materials, labor, and permitting necessary to connect the control house to the force main and deliver a functional wastewater connection.
